No other franchise is more overrated than the Star Wars franchise as it really shows how bloated the franchise has become. Star Wars is so overrated and overexposed to the point that its called the number one science fiction fantasy franchise of all time. The fact that Star Wars has had a major cultural impact is very obvious, it was released over three decades ago, the movie exploded across the popular culture scene. It gets way too predictable when people mention the best TV shows, movies and merchandise it always has to be Star Wars. It's one very big impactful franchises in all of entertainment history. Star Wars day is that one informal commemorative day observed annually on May 4 to celebrate George Lucas' Star Wars franchise.
Star Wars has the most overdone parodies in pop culture that its not funny anymore.
It was extremely unique for the time, the plot was fantastic, the characters were well-written, Darth Vader was and is a treasure.
Plus, it invented the lightsaber, literally one of, if not the coolest and most popular weapons in fiction, **** outta here with your phasers and magic swords.
Add in space magic which I'm pretty sure it was the first movie to ever have an element like that. A long forgotten past, a mind-blowingly amazing score, and some great dialog between characters, all these things combine to make something that's not only a classic, but a TIMELESS classic.
It doesn't matter where or when it came out there's no way it wouldn't take the world by storm.
All the scenery is borrowed from westerns, ww2 movies or Kurosawa. The lightsaber is a glowing katana, the blasters are guns, storm troopers are nazis and Han Solo is Clint Eastwood.
Honestly, any rich kid with a mediocre degree in a rich state could have made that crap, the only things that made it what it was were the toys and special effects. That’s why the prequels suck so much. Lucas clearly doesn’t know how characters interact and probably had nothing to do with them. He didn’t even direct empire or Jedi.

Not to mention it borrowed heavily (to say the least) from other things like Dune, Valerian, and John Carter. Which would be fine, except so many Star Wars fans have no understanding or appreciation for the things that inspired Star Wars.
prequel trilogy sucked as well. the only one that stood a shot at being an acceptable prequel episode was ep1, but jar jar blew his load all over those chances. and let's not forget the riviting tale of trade disputes

In 1977 when I was 10 and it was made for 10 year olds, it was the greatest thing on Earth. At 54, it's just a moment now. I enjoyed the prequels with my kids and the sequels because I have knocked a few out to Daisy.
